Notes
- For a chewier texture, you can slightly underbake the cookies, checking them around the 12-minute mark.
- You can substitute the almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.
- Feel free to add other mix-ins like raisins, shredded coconut, or a few chocolate chips if desired.
- These cookies are naturally sweetened with bananas and honey/maple syrup, so they’re a healthier alternative to traditional cookies.
